"Mainly Chef"

2.5/5

What do you like best about AWS OpsWorks?

Chef allows infrastructure as code (coding scripts to provision servers and apps instead of manual job).

Chef is coded in ruby, an easy language to learn and a large community around it (both for ruby and chef) to help learn from existing tutorials and find questions on boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS OpsWorks?

Opsworks adds a lot of chef recipes and templates that can not be overwritten, complicated to work around.

Need more information about what exactly is performed by opsworks itself and what is left to the sys admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS OpsWorks:

Use Chef 12 stacks, giving much more control to administrators.

Take some times before hands to learn chef itself, while learning is not difficult there is still a lot to learn, chef is a quite powerfull provisionning system with multiple side systems (kitchen, knife) to learn. Doing so would avoid quite a lot of rookie mistakes to be fixed / refactored later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS OpsWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Repeatability, predictability and speed in provisionning servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
